You use them the same way you use any other objects:

  they have attributes (members/properties and methods).
  Use can look like as follows:

    <dtml-with ZInstance>
      <dtml-var property>
      <dtml-var method>
      <dtml-call method>
      <dtml-var "method(a,1,b)">
      ....
    </dtml-with>

You do not find explanations in books because there is nothing
special about ZClass usage.
